Bond Street

The luxury shopping street of London, consisting of both Old and New Bond streets (Tube: Bond St.), links Piccadilly with Oxford Street. "The Bonds" have both traditional old English shops and outlets for the latest and hottest of international designers. In the Georgian era, the beau monde of London promenaded here, window shopping. Young rakes hung out here "looking for virgins." Today this dazzling thoroughfare of shops is celebrated for haute everything, from couture to jewelry. The fun-loving set ranging from the Prince of Wales to the celebrated photographer Cecil Beaton et al, could be seen parading up and down the tiny Old Bond Street, with its deluxe art galleries.
